- Computed level: L12 (depth in the emergence graph, not abstraction)
- Status: review  ·  Domain: everyday  ·  Arena: lexicon

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [points](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-points.location), [space](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-space.extent)

**Through:** a point is placed inside a space extent, creating a distinct place

**Novel properties:**
- specific place
- reference point

## Examples
- Mount Everest's summit is fixed at 27.9881°N, 86.9250°E in the Himalayas. *(geography)*
- The Large Hadron Collider keeps proton beams confined to a 27-kilometer ring at CERN. *(physics)*
- The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake shifted Japan's Honshu island by 2.4 meters eastward. *(geology)*
